Quail Hunting With the Coach
If you have followed my column the past couple years you know that our local quail population has plummeted to what has been quite frankly…no population. Now that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen or heard quail but finding them come November has been a real chore. This spring while fishing around some of the state’s […]
